Answer:

The remainder is -1

The binomial is not a factor of the polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

In the algebraic division, there are 4 terms

  1. Dividend ⇒ the term before the division sign
  2. Divisor ⇒ the term after the division sign
  3. Quotient ⇒ the answer
  4. Remainder ⇒ appear when the dividend not divisible by the divisor (the divisor is not a factor of the dividend)

<u><em>The remainder theorem:</em></u>

  • If you divide a polynomial f(x) by (x - h), then the remainder is f(h).
  • You do not need to use the long division to find the remainder, just evaluate the polynomial when x = h to find the remainder.
  • If h(h) = 0, then (x - h) is a factor of f(x)

Let us use it to solve the question

∵ The dividend is x² - 2

∴ f(x) = x² - 2

∵ The divisor is x - 1

∴ (x - h) = (x - 1)

∴ h = 1

Let us find f(1)

∵ f(1) = (1)² - 2 = 1 - 2 = -1

∴ f(1) = -1

∴ The remainder is -1

∵ f(1) ≠ 0

∴ x - 1 is not a factor of x² - 2

∴ The binomial is not a factor of the polynomial

Do you remember when you were learning about the "Least Common
Multiple" of two numbers, and you were wondering why you had to learn
it, because you were so sure that you'd never need to use it ?  Do you
remember that ?

Well, HERE's where you get to use it.  This question is just looking for
the LCM of 6 and 15 .  THAT's how many days it will be before you get
homework in both subjects on the same day again.

(It's not 90 days, and it's not 60 days.)
